She married William James Christian at age 23, a few miles from the family farm. marriage license was issued on 11-1-1882. Several members of the Jenkins and Christian families moved to Indian Territory and lived in various areas of what became Washita and Stephens County.
She was born in Georgia, probably in the Atlanta area, but about ayear later her family was enumerated in the 1860 census in CassCounty, Texas, where she grew up.. William and Mandy moved to Indian Territory about 1891. In 1900 they are enumerated living in Washita Co. OK Territory.  This county had been formed as a new county only earlier that year, from what was formerly Cheyenne and Arapaho lands.This new county bordered Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, to the east.  If the reports of birth of their children in Chickasaw Nation are correct here, they moved across the border into Washita County around the time the county was established in Oklahoma Territory. In 1920, three of William and Amanda's sons have married and brought their wives into the household.  Henry and his wife Ava now have a 10-month-old child. In 1930, Mandy is living in the household of her daughter Susan Anna Christian Tabor and her husband Roy. Mandy is listed with a separate family number.
Brother: William S. “Bud” most about his youth has been gleaned from notes found in a very old dictionary passed on from Bud to his sister Amanda (Jenkins) Christian, and from her to her daughter Annie (Christian) Tabor of Mountain View, Oklahoma, who now has the book. He died in 1888 in Cattle drive on Chisholm Trail.
Sister: Mary Lydia Jenkins “Lide” remained with Joseph's family until November 1, 1882, when she was married to Thomas Jefferson Chapel, also of Cass County, Texas.

Joseph Sanford Jenkins:
B: 14 October 1826 - South Carolina, D: 26 May 1893 - Marlow, Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory
Father: Jack Jenkins B: 1806 SC.
Joseph Asa's daughter Sallie heard that the Jenkins were from Wales, and originally named McJenkins or MacJenkins. Was said he “was a large man, well proportioned and seven feet tall; and was well respected by the Indians." Joseph Sanford moved his family into Texas on a flatboat – landing at Jefferson's Landing, Jefferson, Marion County, Texas. Joseph freighted supplies for a time from Jefferson's Landing to Atlanta in Northeast Cass County, possibly before moving to the Dalton area. Amanda once told her daughter Annie that Joseph owned slaves when she was young. Up until she reached the age of six, there was a negro mammy who always cared for her and combed her hair. After Lucinda’s death in 1869, the family probably left TX for 2-3 years; no census found. Joseph bought land in 1869 in Cass Co. Possibly visiting first 2 daughters in MS. Joseph Asa tells about when he was young, his dad was moving the family across Arkansas by wagon. Joseph Sanford had to stop for awhile to earn money to buy supplies for the trip back to TX. The store owner noticed Joseph Asa had no shoes, offered to keep and raise him & give him a good education, his dad refused. Joseph Sanford was remarried to Mrs. Louisa Taylor Christian, widow of Joseph Benjamin Christian of Cass County, on 28 February 1872, probably soon after his return. 
Joseph Sanford moved with his son Joseph Asa to Indian Territory abt 1890. Went north thru Bowie Co to cross the Red River by ferry into Choctaw Nation, then went west to Chickasaw Nation, where JS died in or near Marlow in 1893.
Louisa and her first husband, Joseph Benjamin Christian lived on a farm neighbouring the farm of Joseph Sanford’s farm in Cass Co, Texas. Louisia married Jenkins, but the two continued to maintain their separate neighboring farms.
Indicates that Joseph served as a spy for the Confederate forces during the Civil War.

Widaman, issued a marriage license, on New Year's day, to Orlando McCool and Lovina Cyphers, and then proceeded with the marriage ceremony, with as much celebrity, as if he had been in the business for years. This was one of the first official sets of Judge Widaman and he acquitted himself in a creditable manner. The Republican with numerous other friends, extends to the newly wedded couple, their best wishes.

Agnes Nancy Lemon

Agnes Nancy Lemon Parents:
Alexander Lemon or Archibald
B: 1740-1746 Ireland D: Apr 17, 1825 Derry, Pennsylvania
I believe that Alexander Lemon, who was the father of Ann & Elizabeth, who were named in the two deeds conveying land from his estate, was the brother of my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Robert Lemon. There were at least nine children in the family, all boys but one girl. There may have been more sons. They came to the American colonies in about 1760 or so from northern Ireland. Their parents were James & Patsy McCune Lemon. Alexander was most likely the oldest son. Robert enlisted in the Revolutionary War in a militia unit from Westmoreland County in 1776. He says in his Revolutionary War pension application that four of his brothers served with him, although the only one he ever names (during a different enlistment) is William, who was a spy between British and American camps, and whom George Washington mentions in some of his letters. However, militia rolls exist and show both Robert & Alexander on them. 

Margaret Quinn
B: 1745 Ireland or Scotland D: 1830 Derry, Pennsylvania
Married Samuel Eakin & Alexander Lemon
He arrived in Pennsylvania in 
the early 1770s and may have fought in the Revolution. His wife's name was 
Margaret, and her maiden name may have been Lough or Hart.
6 children with Alexander: Agnes (1770-1835) Anna (married Joseph Campbell) (1773-?) Elizabeth (married James Scott) (1777-?) Margaret (1779-?) Mary Polly (married James Quinn) (1782-?) Alexander (married Hannah Eakin) (1785-?)

Alexander Lemon Parents:
James Lemon Sr. 
B: 1710 Tyrone, Ireland D: Pennsylvania-Battle of Brandywine, Revolutionary War occured Sept 11, 1777. or 1782
9 Children, 1 daughter with Patsy. Had James Jr. with Mary Lemon. Him & all nine sons are said to have served in the Revolution. Citizen of Berkeley County,VA. Appointed as Captain in Hartley's Continental Regiment. His will was written 6-1-1777 Book 1, page 111 Berkeley Co. WV. It was approved by the court of Berkely County 10-21-1777.
One of 7 brothers that came over From Ireland. Had been going back and forth between Ireland and Scotland fighting the British (always on the losing end). All seven brothers came to the United States. Two of the brothers joined the Revolution in the United States and finally beat the British.
Thomas, William, James, John, & Robert were indeed some of the sons of James & Patsy. Found written in Robert's niece's Bible. Reference to James & Patsy coming to the American colonies in 1762. In a will in Scott Co KY for James, he mentions a sister Ann White, Jane? Possibly part of the Nicholas Lemen line.
I've found a reference to James & Patsy coming to the American colonies in 1762.
It is interesting in that three of Irish James' sons went to Scott Co KY, and recently I found a Thomas Lemmon listed on the 1810 Scott Co KY census. Also in a will in Scott Co KY for James Lemmon b c1750 he mentions a sister Ann White
Patsy McCune 
B: Between 1675-1729 Ireland 
Samuel, Joseph, Thomas, Alexander, Jane or Ann, Robert Leon, William, John, George.
James & Patsy immigrated from Ireland to the American colonies sometimes between 1752 & 1776.They settled in the far western edges of Pennsylvania (today that's east of Pittsburgh).Robert says in his RW pension application that four of his brothers served in the Revolutionary War with him but only names one, William, who serves as a spy for George Washington.William's branch spells their name Lemmon - two "m's".Other known brothers are Alexander, Thomas, James, John, Joseph, Samuel. It's possible there was a George and an Archibald.

James & Patsy (McCune) Lemon; the family immigrated from Ireland in the early to mid- 1750's.  One of their sons was William Lemmon, who served in the Revolutionary War from Westmoreland Co., PA, and was, according to his younger brother Robert's Revolutionary War pension application, a spy between American and British camps.
